She may be petite, but Hayden Panettiere still managed to pack a punch in the style stakes as she turned out to support her boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko last night.

The 21-year-old actress thrilled the crowd in a frilly little black dress at the premiere of Klitschko - a film which documents Wladimir's boxing career at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

The backless gown showed off the blonde's toned back and tattoo.

Little and large: Hayden Panettiere stole the limelight from boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko as she thrilled the crowd in a frilly LBD for the premiere of Klitschko at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York last night

The Heroes star - who is of Italian descent - has the words 'vivere senza rimipianti' inked down her back which is supposed to be a translation of 'to live without regrets.'

Rather embarrassingly, the tattoo is misspelled - it reads 'rimipianti' instead of 'rimpianti,' adding an extra "i."

She also showed off her wrist tattoo, a Sanskrit design on her right arm.

Her boyfriend's new documentary follows Wladimir and his brother Vitali Klitschko , who is also a boxer, inside and outside of the boxing ring.

It also reveals their thoughts about growing up in Soviet times, Chernobyl and the road toward world heavyweight championships.

The film is set to be released on June 16.

Recently Hayden, who stands at a petite 5ft 2ins, revealed that her height is no barrier to love with her 6ft 6ins boxer beau.

She told Ellen DeGeneres the couple 'find a way' to make things work in the bedroom.

'He is quite a bit bigger than me,' she admitted on the afternoon chat show. 'I get the prudest people coming up to me and they're like, does it work? Yeah, it works. We find a way.'

'Where there's a will, there's a way!' she laughed. 'They're very conservative people often, and they just say they have to know!'

A surprised Ellen replied: 'I know what you're talking about but I'm in shock.
